What do expats find most challenging?

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Rimini. They wrote...

"Expats in Rimini often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and the local dialect can be difficult to understand. They may also struggle with the slower pace of life, which is common in many Italian cities but can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more efficient pace. The Italian bureaucracy can also be a challenge, as it can be complex and time-consuming to navigate. Additionally, some expats may find it difficult to integrate into the local community, as Italians are often close-knit and can be wary of outsiders. Lastly, the late dining culture can be a challenge for those who are used to eating earlier in the evening," commented one expat who made the move to Rimini, Italy.
